Odds go against Jets in Week 4 matchup with Jaguars

If handing the Browns their first win since 2016 wasn’t bad enough, the Jets now have to follow up their poor performance on the road in Jacksonville. Seeing how the Jaguars are coming off their first loss of the year, the odds are in their favor as they prepare to defend home turf.

From top to bottom, the Jaguars are one of the NFL’s most complete teams. With little to no holes on their roster, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that they’d be favorites in any home game this season.

That in mind, the Jets are far from the league’s most complete. New York is plagued with questions at several positions on both sides of the football. For that reason, the odds peg them as underdogs at a +310 money-line, per OddsShark.

The best money-line for Jacksonville casts them as clear favorites at -370. With the over/under sitting at 38 points, the Jaguars will have to cover a 7.5-point spread.

In a turn of events, Jacksonville dropped Sunday’s home matchup with the Tennessee Titans by a narrow margin. Decided by a field goal, the game saw a final score of 9-6.

There is some hope for the Jets. Star running back Leonard Fournette has yet to return from injury and the Jaguars’ receiving core has as some concerns. On defense, however, the opposition boasts some of the best corners and pass-rushers in the game.

If New York hopes to defy the odds on Sunday, they’ll likely have to take a page from the Titans’ book and keep the score low.
